No, i don't think so. Rabies is transmitted by saliva, so therefore you would have get bitten by the squirrel to get the virus, otherwise, i think your ok, but ask a doctor, just in case im wrong.

If you touched a dead rat that had rabies could you get rabies?

Yes you can get rabies from a WILD rat.But PET rats do not carry rabies because at the pet store, they receive rabies shots before they are put on sale.This is why you should never touch a wild rat if you ever encounter one. If you somehow get bit by a wild rat seek immediate medical attention as in going to the hospital to get a rabies shot. If a PET rat bites you do not worry because they WILL NOT carry this disease.

What to do if dog eats squirrel?

If your dog(or any pet for that matter) has been playing with a dead squirrel, it can pick up diseases such as bubonic plague(known as the Black Death in medieval times). Even worse, the dog can spread the disease around, infecting any creatures vulnerable to the disease. You may not know if your pet has been playing with a dead animal, so wash your dog frequently! This incident happened when a monkey ate a dead squirrel and contacted the bubonic plague.
